What the heck is "crocus cloth"?

That's an old term that I haven't heard in a while.  ;D

It's a fine grit, typically cloth backed abrasive. Like sand paper or emery cloth and usually red in color.

Go it, emery cloth. Why didn't you just say so :laugh:.  I'll google it next time before asking a dumb question. Thanks

Sorry  next time I'll call it emery cloth.  It was late and I needed to hurry up and get back to work last night before the boss caught me online

Ok, I'll bite. What the heck is "crocus cloth"?

I think it was heavy duty sort of emery cloth, as in debride the parts before replacing.

Crocus paper is very fine, and used to improve electrical contacts by removing muck, without damaging the metal.

I would guess crocus cloth would be similar.
